F...Stupid People

Parking Lot

Like this one character that works for my parents who thought it was a good idea to steal an expensive ring from a client and then leave a note claiming the ring went down the sink even though the ring couldn't possibly fit through the sink. Oh but that's not all, this sort of thing has happened once in the past.

I think everyone forgot how to drive around 12:15 here in Rockville. Not one but two people were literally driving backwards in a busy parking lot. Then people were cutting across lanes like it was GTA 3 or something. I need a flamethrower on the front of my car.

Going to work thurs. morning, running just a bit behind, two filing deadlines looming.

Guy pulls in front of me from the left lane to the right lane with MAYBE a car length to spare. Literally runs me off the road, jumps out of his car and tells me it is my fault because he had his blinker on. (Sorry, you're right - once you put your blinker on, I am able to change the laws of the space continuim and go from 30 mph to 0 in the space of 15 feet). BTW - the guy and his girlfriend speak very nice broken english thank you.

Although the damage is relatively minor (flat tire, bent rim), I believe that I may need some backup for the chain of events that left me halfway up the sidewalk and him stradling two lanes. However, this is a downtown intersection where 30 people standing 10' away saw nothing b/c they don't want to get involved. I got the name and number of one person. (the newspaper guy). At which point, the loony and his girlfriend start yelling at me that I must get the names of all the people present. Since they had called the police, I had to wait until they showed up. As no one had been injured, the police took their time getting there. Once they did, the guy finally (and only at the direction of the police) gives me his insurance information.

An bad event which should have only taken 15 minutes went on for an one and half hours and caused me to be late all day long.
